Part Three: Delivery
from We Dream In Blue by Foxfire
lyrics
(Mother:)
She still believes in the things she can't see
She talks to God almost every day
She wears that big cross around her neck
And swears she hears you call from the waves
We cross our fingers with bloody knuckles
And bite our tongues when we try to speak
The salt in your lungs won't bring us peace
But closure might be just what we need
Your brother's just fine
He said his goodbyes
And left town without taking anything
He left me a letter it said "She'd be better,
please just let her be."
And I don't know why, but I can't let you die
I can't get you out of my head
The salt in your lungs won't bring me peace
But I don't want peace I want you
The waves crash around my head
I still wake up screaming out your name
When I see that raincoat that once held the Captain
Choking on the salt that now runs through your veins
She still believes in the things she can't see
She talks to God almost every day
She wears that big cross around her neck
And swears she hears you call from the waves
We cross our fingers with bloody knuckles
And bite our tongues when we try to speak
The salt in your lungs won't bring us peace
But closure might be just what we need
Your brother's just fine
He said his goodbyes
And left town without taking anything
He left me a letter it said "She'd be better,
please just let her be."
And I don't know why, but I can't let you die
I can't get you out of my head
The salt in your lungs won't bring me peace
But I don't want peace I want you
The waves crash around my head
I still wake up screaming out your name
When I see that raincoat that once held the Captain
Choking on the salt that now runs through your veins
